4/ Simply "planning" an attack against the U.S. is not enough to go around Congress. It's not surprising an Iranian general was "planning" military action - we are in the middle of a escalatory cycle of provocations between the U.S. and Iran. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ To order a strike against another country, without congressional authorization, the harm to U.S. personnel must be "imminent." There was no evidence that the threat was imminent. There was no evidence of a specific target. There was no evidence that the attack was certain. — PolitiTweet.org

5/ I concede others may define "imminence" differently. There is room for disagreement. But my belief is that the Administration wanted to kill Soleimani for reasons other than an "imminent attack". And if that's the case, then they needed congressional approval. — PolitiTweet.org
